3 am and starving?

So my newest starvation moments are happening at 3am.  I am fully awakened with real hunger pains.  I try to go back to sleep until 6am (when I am allowed to eat next) but it's really hard (and painful).  Anyone else experience this?  I feel like  a freaking infant who needs a 3am feeding and burping! Thank goodness I don't need diapers TOO!   ARGH

What food stage are you on??  I am going to assume solids at about 4 weeks out.

Up until my first fill, I could eat whenever I felt hungry and usually ate 3 meals and 3 snacks per day.  The rule for the snack was if it was 15gr carb then it had to be at least 7 gr protein.  A hard boiled egg, piece of cheese (low fat), some cottage cheese, etc usually would suffice to get me through.

I also had to have a snack before bedtime due to low am blood sugars...a cheese stick and about 7 rf wheat thins would do very well.

Thanks!

 I am coming up on 4 weeks.  I don't go back to  my surgeon until 2/15 though and still am on the pureed food until I see him.  I am going to try a bedtime snack tonight and see if that helps!

 

When I had that happen I started taking a cup of yogurt to bed with me (Carbmaster yogurt is really low sugar, low fat and tastes good) and would eat a spoonful or two and go back to sleep.

A light snack a little before bed might not hurt. Try not to eat real dense things though. 

I know other people though who "rinse their pouch" with a cup of tea before bed.  Carefully test different approaches till you find what works for you.  Keyword.. carefully.
